LOGINShe was teary by the end, which made me feel like I'd absolutely nailed it. "I now pronounce you husband and wife," the officiant said. "You may kiss your bride." I pulled Paige into my arms and kissed her while everyone cheered. At the reception, Danny gave his best man speech with way too mu
ASHER I'd performed in front of millions of people, won three acting awards, and done my own stunts in a movie where I nearly died twice. But standing in this room waiting to get married, I was more terrified than I'd ever been in my entire life. Ten dates. That's what I'd told Paige we neede

It should have been romantic. Instead it felt suffocating. I'd stopped trying to look for Damon or manufacture excuses to run into him. I kept to myself, staying mostly in my room and only going out when Frank and I needed to meet for wedding preparations. We got our wedding attire together—

PRINCESS I felt hurt, devastated actually, but I blamed myself for crying over someone who clearly didn't care. What was I expecting?
